5 Ways To Avoid Those Dreaded Dead-End Relationships

The tips will make sure you are ready to receive love before it comes your way.

Humans are pack animals. We are designed to live, eat, work, and play together. When we are single, in most cases, we are continually scanning and searching for the ideal mate to connect with and share our lives with. It is an instinctive, healthy drive. In my mentoring practice, I see many clients searching outside themselves for satisfaction.

In relationships, if we don't possess a healthy sense of self, we end up matching up with someone who perfectly fits the pieces of us we have discounted, disowned, and rejected. For example, let's say you are a woman who grew up with a distant, emotionally unavailable father. You may choose a man whose attention you have to work hard for.

And the cycle begins again.

There is a way to break this cycle, but 95 percent of the people who read this article won't do it. I dare you to do it. If you do, you become a part of what I call the "5 percent club." The 5 percent club is the most exclusive club in the world. This is the club that no one invites you to join, and only you can accept or reject yourself. This club is based on self-love. To achieve self-love, it is vital to develop your ability to receive love, support, and help. You need to be able to accept a compliment with a simple "thank you," instead of a long story about how you bought the dress on sale after a friend told you about it. Keep reading...
